Chords: Bm, G, Em, A, F#m, D

Version 1:
      Bm
Was a long and dark December 

From the rooftops I remember
          G           Em
There was snow, white snow
  Bm
Clearly I remember from the windows
                            G
They were watching while we froze
        Em
Down below 

Chorus:
          G
When the future architecture
     A                     Bm
By a carnival of idiots on show
               A
You better lie low
       G    D   Bm        Em  A  Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know 

Version 2:
      Bm
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
        G            Em
And the frost became gone
 Bm
Creased cut stones and bibles
Are all out to fade their rifles
         G             Em
And the cross was held aloft 

Chorus:
G
There in me and I’m…
         A
When I’m dead and hit the ground
         Bm        A
Legs are cold, unfold
       G    D   Bm        Em  A  Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know 

Guitar Solo:

Bm Bm G Em  x2

Chorus:
        G
I don’t wanna be a soldier
       A
With a captain of some sinking ship
     Bm
With snow
    A
Far below
           G    D   Bm        Em  A  Bm
So, if you love me, why’d you let me go 

Outro:
          D            G      F#m      G
I took my love down to Violet Hill
         Bm     Em    G
There we sat    in    snow
         Bm   Em      G         F#m
All that time she was silenced still
    D      G    D   Bm        Em   A    Bm    Em
So, if you love me, won’t you let  me   know?
D      G    D   Bm        Em  A  Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?

INTRO:
C - D - G - Em    x2

(Em)      C        D
I used to rule the world
           G                    Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     C       D
Now in the morning I sweep alone
          G                 Em
Sweep the streets I used to own

C - D - G - Em    x2

(Em)      C         D
I used to roll the dice
          G                 Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              C            D
Listen as the crowd would sing:
          G                 Em
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

(Em)         C        D
One minute I held the key
         G                    Em
Next the walls were closed on me
                          C        D
And I discovered that my castles stand
     G                    Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 

  C              D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G             Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C                D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                 Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C                 D
For some reason I can't explain
G                     Em              C      D
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
         G                Em
That was when I ruled the world 

C - D - G - Em    x2

                      C     D
It was the wicked and wild wind
              G               Em
Blew down the doors to let me in.
                          C        D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       G                    Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become

         C      D
Revolutionaries wait
        G               Em
For my head on a silver plate
                   C      D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   G                         Em
Oh who would ever want to be king? 

  C              D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G             Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C                D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                 Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C                 D
For some reason I can't explain
  G                     Em
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
   C            D
never an honest word
              G                Em
But that was when I ruled the world  

C - Em x3
D x2

C - D - G - Em    x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

  C              D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G             Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C                D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                 Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C                 D
For some reason I can't explain
  G                     Em
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
   C            D
never an honest word
              G                Em
But that was when I ruled the world  

C - D - G - Em              and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Em7              C         G
Just because I'm losing
        D         Em7    C   G
Doesn't mean I'm lost
        D         Em7     C   G
Doesn't mean I'll stop
        D            Em7     C   G  D
Doesn't mean I would cross

Em7              C         G
Just because I'm hurting
        D         Em7     C   G
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
        D             Em7      C    G
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
   D             Em7     C   G
No better and no worse

CHORUS:
           D
I just got lost
                   C     G  D
Every river that I tried to cross
                   C     G  D
Every door I ever tried was locked
         C
Ohhh and I'm...
     G                            D
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

VERSE 3:

Em7             C         G
You might be a big fish
     D      Em7     C   G
In a little pond
        D           Em7
Doesn't mean you've won
        C        G      D      Em7     C      G
'Cause along may come a bigger one

CHORUS
               D
And you’ll be lost
                     C     G  D
Every river that you tried to cross
                   C     G   D
Every gun you ever held went off
         C
Ohhh and I’m…
     G                            D
Just waiting ’til the firing stops
         C
Ohhh and I’m…
     G                            D
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off

Em7+ - C+ - D+ - Bm+     x4

         C
Ohhh and I’m…
     G                            D
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off
         C
Ohhh and I’m…
     G                            D
Just waiting ’til the shine wears off

Do you think about me now and then?

[This Chords pattern is then repeated throughout the song]
Listen for the timing. Simple.

[Version 1 - Kanye West]
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said, excuse me little homie,
I know you don’t know me- but,
My name is Wendy and, I like to blow trees and,
From that point I never blow her off,
They can come from outta town I like to show her off,
They like to act tough, she like to tow em off,
And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft
And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding
And I told her in my heart is where she always be
She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave
She said it felt like they walked and drove on me
Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me
I guess it’s why last winter she got so cold on me
She said, Ye keep making that,
keep making that platinum and gold for me

[Chorus - Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I’m coming home again
I’m in home again
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Oooh, now I’m coming home again

Maybe we can start again

[Version 2 - Kanye West]
But if you really care for her,
then you would n-never hit the airport,
To follow your dream,
sometimes I still talk to her,
but when I talk to her
It always seems like she talking about me,
She said you left your kids and they just like you
They wanna rap and make show beats just like you,
But they just not you and I just got to
Talking bout what she can try to do just not new
Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong
I guess you never know what you got till its gone
I guess this is why I’m here and I cant come back home
And guess when I heard that when I was back home
Every interview I’m representing you making you proud
Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud
Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around,
And if you don’t know by now,
I’m talking about Chit town,

[Chorus - Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I’m coming home again
Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan
Oooh, now I’m coming home again
Im in home again
Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan
Oooh, now I’m coming home again
Maybe we can start again

Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh
Coming home again
Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh
Coming home again
Maybe we can start again

It was a beautiful thing to witness: two young people in love, gazing into each other’s eyes as they belted out the words sung by their hero up on stage. They were standing so close to me you could almost feel the heat of their collective ardour. To be honest, they looked so cute together, so sunny and icky and Love’s Young Dream that it’s more than likely they were singing in perfect two-part harmony without even knowing it. But something just felt a bit odd.

Maybe it was the fact that it was Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. Perhaps it was because it was the Jay-Z gig at the Royal Albert Hall last night, and the words they were belting out were, “I’ve got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one!” But it was probably just Gwynie’s dancing. [Read more]

Instrumental Bridge:

[Strum “D” fast about 12 times as it sounds in the song
and then hammer on the little E
string with your pinky on fret 6 for about 5 quick strums
and repeat.
Its not perfect,

while adding in the catchy little solo in the
background. ]
